@MrNinjutsu Like you, I've only been using Blender to model in casually and am a Max user. I'm currently doing my first big(in Blender) AAA gun asset(100K) and have avoided Blender's unwrap tools like the plague..........until now. :) The UV sync thing was completely alien to my brain and I just couldn't see the logic of…
Apologies for the late response, I just got home. @m00k It's difficult for me to understand if the technique you use in the gif would apply to what I'm talking about, since the change in width appears to happen only at the top, instead of all throughout the loop, incrementally. @Cirno Thank you for sharing this - this is…
Another solution which is as of my knowledge still in Blender mostly untested for rigs etc is to build one system via PyQt. an example back from 25.09.2013 is the tutorial viewer; [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qasoQQCK34E[/ame] code which was used for the tutorialviewer example which then executes in Blender…
Going forward it will be easier for users of other app to use Blender but until camp Blender is torn down, most people probably won't cross pollinate. It's like wearing an ascot, walking into a biker bar and ordering a martini with a twist of zucchini. It's probably easier to just to go a martini bar. Some of the best…
Hey guys, sorry for not reading much in this thread, but it's freakishly huge to trawl through. I already googled most of these things and haven't found very satisfactory answers. So I'm learning Blender, I like it a lot more than maya and it's way easier to get into than Modo. But: * I don't like how picking the Maya…
I think the biggest issue regarding baking in Blender is its lack of flexibility. :/ I dont think they could have found a faster and easier way to bake maps (2 or 3 clicks and you are done ) but it is quite restrictive in the fact that you cant use cages, average normals or flip channels before rendering so to be usable…
@pior Thank you for the informative answers :) I'm really learning a lot from your inputs, you being the Blender user with more experience in knowing how all the systems relate with each other. For the pivot thing, I was just looking for a Pivot-To-Bottom solution because it's something I do pretty frequently in my work.…
First off, xrg's videos are awesome and a big reason I wanted to pick Blender up and give it a try. kat's tutorials were also helpful for clearing up a few points. I've been trying out Blender for the past couple of days. I think I'm having similar hangups as SHEP did coming from a background using Max. I was foolish at…
How long has it been since you have used Blender? If it is the 2.4x series then just everything has been re-written and improved. Most of the awesome "must have" tools/plugins are now integrated (Loop tools, Inset/Extrude etc.) with 2.59 getting some awesome additions (Ivy Gen, Sapling, Grease Scatter etc.) a few days ago.…
I use it with the SHIFT+S, since I can select what I want and assign it, so using the RMB to position it in a non specific position seems useless (to me) having already a better way to do so. Am I missing something? I forgot that Blender is a Vertex-centric application, when you select something in vertex mode, it will be…
